I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce you to someone special in my life. I met her a couple of days ago and she's brilliant. She's organized, smart, clean and immensely helpful. Her name? Please give a warm welcome to...The Container Store. Ok, so I know some of you have already met her. But, she's new to me. And I love her. I found her at the Century City mall, and the moment she welcomed me into her arms, I was in love. It's too difficult to accurately explain what makes her so great. You'll just have to go and find out for yourself. And I can't guarantee it will be love at first sight for you -- but, it's worth a shot. I'm actually thinking about going to work for her. Considering that she's ranked #6 in Fortune's Top 100 companies to work for, I figure it could be a match made in heaven. And what could be better than getting a 40% employee discount?

went to see lily allen at the troubadour tonight. if you haven't heard of her, you will soon. she's from england (where she's huge) and her album comes out here soon... me and margaux met neil and kimmie at the show. we stood up in the vip area (because we're cool like that) and watched lily perform. she was definitely good, but she lacked stage presence. it was a much hyped show and it was packed, but being upstairs helped because it wasn't as crowded. the best part of the night was after the show when everyone came up to the vip area. that's where we got to rub shoulders (literally because it's such a small area) with the celebs. below, a list of the shoulders we touched...

the star of the show, miss lily allen.

gwen and gavin. margaux touched her shoulder. i stared. she's tall and possibly pregnant due to her unusually large chestal region. is chestal even a word? she also drank water while everyone else had alcohol.

orlando bloom. or "legolas" as i like to call him. he chatted up gwen and gavin, flirted with lily and then bounced.

tony kanal and his girlfriend. gwen and gavin are so much cooler.

sean lennon. we're practically related. we gave each other the half-asian nod.

geoffrey rush. he was surrounded by high school looking girls. definitely still a player for an old dude.

margaux swears she saw david chokachi (from baywatch). i couldn't tell if it was him. who really cares anyway?
